Stop being so sensitive you mardy bastards re: Sam Lee's article. I'd much rather read an article about what's really going on behind the scenes, rather than the fanzine-wank that the scousers and united fans get on that website. Do you honestly believe after watching how Aguero was yesterday that the article will have any damaging repercussions whatsoever?

Sam Lee is a United fan but his coverage of City is spot on. He has no obligation to like city. But he writes about us fairly and with a good understanding on what's going on behind the scenes.

If you want to just read 100% positive articles all the time, read the city website. Oh wait nobody wants to do that because 100% positivity is boring and not worth reading.

Grow up mard arses and be happy we just won the PL with an amazing send off for Sergio, and we have a Champions League final on Saturday!!

The problem is he doesn't have a good insights into what is going on like Cas and some of his transfers news proofes
 
What's with the crap that Daily Mail posted???? I can't believe the Media, they want to rain on our parade and appreciation for Aguero!!! Seriously

www.dailymail.co.uk

Aguero 'has a problem with Guardiola' and is NOT happy with exit

City's record goalscorer bid farewell to the Etihad on Sunday after 10 years at the club, with the Argentine coming off the bench to score twice in the 5-0 victory over Everton.

How accurate or believable is the above?

If you listen to the weekly podcast he clearly has proper insights into the club, staff and players. I'm not sure how anybody could read/listen and claim otherwise.

Some of his tips are 100% wrong but that's hardly unique for a football journalist!

I know that's my point. He should not be writing about City .

No, that’s not correct.

He should be writing about City, (or any other club than the one he supports), because it shows that interesting, non bias, analytical journalism exists and is how to do it…

unfortunatly, i have more chance of dancing naked on the deck of HRH Sheikh Mansoor’s yacht, than what should be happening with objective, accurate and factual reporting of City.

I stopped listening to that podcast because I felt he didn't have any passion for our club he sounded nlike he was falling a sleep most of the time.

They let Cantona gibber on for 18 minutes. City making history whilst the BBC are wallowing in history.

It took the media’s golden 3 (Rags, Dippers, Arse) over twenty years to create all the history in the premier league. It’s only taken Pep and City 4 years to obliterate those records, each time City play these days it seems we break more records.

Manchester City creating history daily.
The future is looking amazing the future is blue!
 
The bottom line is this. I cried yesterday when Aquero scored I miss him like crazy. When ever I listen to Sam Lee he just seems bored talking about my club. I want to hear passion like he cares. I dont mean PR ass licking like Liverpool have. Just it would be nice if he give a little back like he cares he doesn't. This story and the timing of it was just too much for me. Sam Lee might be writing ABOUT City but it is not FOR City fans...

That's what irritated me most about the end of the season gone. They got into the CL. Liverpool are operating on the bones of their arse. Losing the CL revenue would've hit them hard. Fkn annoying.

Fair point. On balance I think I want them in the CL which they aren't going to win rather than concentrating on the league. Sure the financial loss would have hit them, but them mounting a genuine title challenge would have papered that over. Far better to let them secure a top 4 place without any real trophy aspirations, and live on their 'istree.

Who does that remind me of?

Pep spoke very passionately about Sergio. The fact this journo is having a go 1 day later shows his scum like vermin qualities.

He has no clue what has happened. Gossip and tit for tat is the level he operates.

Sam’s incorrect libelous fictitious report on CAS with his WhatsApp buddies finished his creditability. If he likes making shit up maybe he should be writing for the cartoon section.

Horses for courses mate. I also cried multiple times yesterday. But I also don't mind reading articles that are critical of the club, so long as they are factual. I want the real news 100% of the time. I don't think it is a stretch to believe that Aguero isn't happy the way his departure has been handled, and that it was a decision made by Pep and not the bean counters.

PS I agree that Sam Lee isn't very charismatic on the podcast but IMO his content makes up for the delivery.

I've thought he was a city fan based on his podcasts, doh!!! Usually pretty good, even if he comes across as a know it all sometimes

We all like 'factual' content in articles and not made up junk. The only problem is how you can tell the difference?? How can you tell that Sam Lee is not doing a 'Boris'?
